Light where it should be

I'm Julius Muschaweck, a curious scientist who loves to solve puzzles in technology that lead to new actual products.

My focus is in two major fields:

on illumination optics, a field with surprising depth and beauty in physics and mathematics, and

on applying mathematical insights with fast numerical programming.

Optics of illumination is a truly fascinating field. Its depth and beauty are practical: Applying this theory to an illumination design project is immensely helpful in getting things right from the start, and avoiding dead ends. I should know, I have been doing this for over 25 years. So when you need assistance with getting the illumination right in a project, I can help you in a multitude of ways:

If you just want a good optical solution, I can design optics for you, from feasibility and first conceptual ideas to production-ready designs.

If you would also like to get insight into the nature of your problem (or have your engineers get such insights), I can help you learn things about illumination optics on the way: I will happily tell you how I approach your problem from the start, why I choose certain optical concepts, and what I do to get the design right.

If you want to learn illumination optics, so you or your engineers become better optical designers for illumination, you can attend one of my scheduled courses, or contact me to discuss a dedicated course in your offices.

If you are an engineer looking for a mentor, an experienced person you can always ask for advice: Throughout my professional life, I have been helping younger colleagues around me grow their skills and their careers.
